Gao Qian's hair had been wiped with a towel, but her bangs were still wet and stuck to her face. She was shivering from the cold and looked a little embarrassed.
Yun Qiao turned around and noticed that Gao Qian's eyes were filled with envy, not jealousy. Adhering to the principle of not exposing or showing off during conversation, he echoed her words, "We've also been married for a short time, and it's just fresh. It'll be the same after a long time."
"you do not say."
Hearing this, Gao Qian immediately opened up, "When Lao Shao and I first got married, he was incredibly gentle and considerate. He'd bring me water when I was thirsty, roll up his sleeves and cook for me when I was hungry, and even worried I'd get lost when we went out. He'd want to carry me in his pocket and take me wherever I went... But now? He opens his mouth and says, 'I'm a mother,' and closes his mouth and asks, 'Can you please stop being so spoiled?' Compared to when we first got married, he feels like a completely different person."
"Men, they don't know how to cherish what they have." Gao Qian sighed.
Yun Qiao smiled but didn't comment.
Gao Qian didn't intend to let her comment, and immediately changed the subject, praising her husband again: "Speaking of which, my husband Shao does have some good points. At least he loves the children and usually does things when you ask him to. Unlike other men, who pretend not to hear when you yell at them three or five times."
"Hearing you say that, Captain Shao is actually a pretty good person." Yun Qiao picked out a few nice words and said.
"It's okay. He's better than the guy who can't even help a fallen soy sauce bottle. But sometimes I get really annoyed with him," Gao Qian complained. "For example, last night, the kids wanted soy sauce noodles, and I asked him to go out and buy a bottle of soy sauce, but he ended up buying a bottle of vinegar. I wondered if he was deaf, because otherwise he couldn't even hear me say soy sauce and vinegar. He even insisted that he saw me shredded cucumbers and thought I wanted to season them with vinegar. Isn't that infuriating?"
Yun Qiao nodded. "It's quite infuriating, yes. Did Shao Ying buy more soy sauce later?"
"I bought it." Gao Qian said unhappily, "It's because he knows his mistake and can correct it. He's willing to make another trip and buy the right bottle after making the mistake. If he was the kind of person who stubbornly argued after doing something wrong, I would have given up on him a long time ago."
"But it's not a big deal. Every family has their share of quarrels and arguments."
Gao Qian knows how to comfort herself.
As she spoke, An Xiaomei rushed into the health room holding an umbrella.
She shook the rainwater mixed with ice from her umbrella, closed it, and hung it behind the door. "It's really cold today," she said. "I almost froze to death walking here."
"It's quite cold today." Gao Qian said, "If it gets any colder, we should light the stove in the house."
"In previous years, the stoves were shipped when the sky froze. Today, there's even ice chips, so it's already frozen. I'll ask the logistics department later to see when the stoves will be shipped this year."
An Xiaomei answered as she asked and came back after a while.
"Ms. Bai from the logistics department said the stoves are all ready-made and can be moved from the warehouse anytime we need them. It's just that this freezing rain this year was so sudden that the factory hasn't had time to purchase honeycomb coal yet. If we want to light the stoves these next two days, we'll have to find a way ourselves."
"How can we find a solution?" Gao Qian spread her hands and said, "The factory's purchasing department hasn't even had time to buy honeycomb coal, so how can we ordinary people think of it?"
An Xiaomei thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we get some charcoal first?"
"Goodbye." Yun Qiao waved his hand. "Lighting the stove without closing the door is like taking off your pants to fart. It's unnecessary and won't warm you up at all. But if you light charcoal in the room with the door closed, you might cause carbon monoxide poisoning. If a room full of doctors and nurses were knocked out by a stove of charcoal, it would be embarrassing if the news got out."
"Okay." An Xiaomei looked back and lowered her eyes.
Gao Qian patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, just bear with it for now. You can't bear it for a few more days anyway. I'll get a thermos of hot water from the bathroom. If you're cold, fill it up and warm it up."
"good."
There wasn't much else in the clinic, except for a lot of empty bottles. They were used glass infusion bottles that had to be cleaned and boiled in a specially sterilized boiler, and they became ready-made thermoses.
An Xiaomei not only drank a bottle for herself, but also gave a bottle each to Gao Qian and Yun Qiao.
